On a vibrant emerald green background, this stamp illustrates the European Greenfinch, named Khdeir because of its dominant color. The illustration highlights its stocky silhouette and its characteristic yellow wing bars which become particularly visible during flight. A sedentary bird familiar from the pine forests and gardens of Tunisia, the greenfinch symbolizes the vigor of nearby wild nature. By devoting him the highest face value of this selection, the Tunisian post celebrates the robustness and constant presence of this melodious singer in the national soundscape.
